The ERDF funds are contributing greatly to the urban development of the municipality of La Rinconada (Seville). Among the different actions being carried out, the following should be highlighted: Redevelopment and Beautification of Degraded Areas: Actions in Green Lungs. "Lomas del Charco Park". This operation consists of the transformation of an area located in the disadvantaged neighbourhoods of the municipality, through the creation of a park with infrastructures for sports and leisure activities, regenerating the landscape and giving an appropriate use to a public space hitherto abandoned and used, on occasions, as an illegal rubbish dump.

In these disadvantaged neighbourhoods, which originate in social housing developments whose population has the worst socio-labour situation (trapped by unemployment, casualization and lack of education), an effective intervention is needed to improve these communities and integrate them with the rest of the municipality. For this reason, the Town Hall designs social intervention programmes to prevent poverty and social exclusion, reduce social inequalities and increase training, which is one of the main reasons why this new green and leisure area will be created.

In the creation of the " Lomas del Charco or La Caldera Park", in honour of the grandmothers, the main actions carried out have been the following:

1) Planting of native plant species; with an important weight within the Project as it is a green lung within the urban fabric and, at the same time, an area of high visibility in the access to the nucleus of Rinconada, helping, therefore, to improve the image of the village;

2) Improvement of the accessibility to the park and creation of a network of pedestrian paths;

3) Creation of sports areas (basketball, skating, football, calisthenics, etc. ), children's playground, sports equipment for the elderly and an area for dogs; and,

4) Promotion of culture through the installation of three podiums prepared for large-format sculptures, thus facilitating access to this type of exhibition for visitors and people from the surrounding area.

The total investment in this action has been €614,400.00, of which €491,520.00 corresponds to ERDF co-financing. The impact of the action is reflected in, on the one hand, the regeneration of 10,000 m² of degraded area and, on the other hand, the use and enjoyment of the same by the 38,628 people who live in the municipality of La Rinconada and, especially, the most disadvantaged population.
